Relevance to content & learning standards How will the wiki be used to deliver content? Do the objectives and activities on the wiki relate to the standards?
Skills & higher order thinking
What skills must the learner have before using the wiki? What skills will the learner develop as a result of using the wiki? How will the wiki promote higher order thinking?
Technology implementation
What technology resources will I need to use wikis in my class? Where can I find technology support for using wikis?
Organization & classroom management What policies and procedures will I have in place when using wikis in the classroom? How will I instruct learners to use wikis? What resources will I need to supplement the learning?
